13 Fun Halloween Apps for Kids
Just for fun the other day I went on a search for fun Halloween Apps for Kids for my iPhone. I was amazed at how many turned up and downloaded a bunch, almost all of them free. The kids and I checked them out, here are our favorites ..
- Disney Mickey’s Spooky Night – A animated story with words (that are read to you) with puzzles to complete along the way. My 4 year old loves this one. This was one of the one’s that I paid for … it was $0.99.
- Halloween Kids Puzzles – My 4 year old is really into puzzles right now, so this is great for her. The free version comes with 4 Halloween-themed puzzles for kids to put together. Parents can change the settings to adjust the difficulty.
- StoryBots Halloween – This is BY FAR is our favorite. We all got a big kick out of this silly app … and have been watching the video we creating over and over … and over and over and over. Here’s a link to our funny little family as kooky monsters!
- Halloween Color Mix – The free version comes with 2 Halloween “coloring” pages to “touch to fill” or freehand “color”. There are also Halloween background pages for free drawing. Kids can choose and mix their own colors.
- Halloween Puzzles and Color – The free version comes with 4 Halloween characters that you can put together as a puzzle and/or color in.
- Halloween Games PicknColor – 8 free “coloring” pages for kids to fill in. I think this one has some of the better images compared to other apps.
- Pumpkin Creation – Create a jack-o-lantern without all the (awesome) sensory mess! Players can select the color pumpkin, plus each facial feature and add-ons to make pumpkin masterpieces!
- Halloween Concentration – A Halloween themed memory game. As you succeed each game the level of difficulty increases. My four year old enjoys this one.
- Spookley the Square Pumpkin – This app is the storybook of Spookley. You can choose to have the app read the story to you … or you can read it yourself. Super cute story about being different!
- Plum’s School Halloween – This is a more educational app, with a Halloween theme. There are 3 different difficulty levels – but geared towards preschool, kindergarten and 1st grade.
- Halloween Jokes – A super simple app that pops up a new Halloween joke each time you open it. Like, “Where do fashionable ghosts shop for sheets?” … “Bootiques”
- Halloween WordSearch – I got this one for my 7 year old son who is really getting into word searches. In these ones, you need to find Halloween related words.
- Hotel Transylvania Dash – A fun, pretty simple game for kids that can read … players help the characters take care of the hotel guests. My son and I really enjoying playing it!
We also found some Halloween versions of our favorite games:
- Farm Story 2 – Halloween
- Hay Day – Halloween
- Halloween Mahjong
- Halloween Jewel Mania
- Spooky Halloween Match 3 – I’m
kindaaddicted to games like Bejeweled, Candy Crush, and Jewel Mania. This one is like those … but uses a Halloween theme.
